B. Technology industry

【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B
【原文】As the world holds its breath, waiting to see if the coronavirus is going to be defeated or if we will experience a second wave, many of us are looking to the future and find how our lives have changed. The virus has caused many people to work from home. If companies decide to continue allowing this, it will ease the burden on public transport. Many train and subway systems in major cities were struggling with the number of daily passengers. With restrictions and social distancing in place on many modes of transport, people have been shifting towards cycling as an alternative way to get around. During June 2020, the UK saw cycling levels rise by 300%.This was pushed by a
government policy that allowed people to buy a bike tax free, allowing savings from 25% up to 39% depending on the cost of the bike. The coronavirus has also seen significant impact on jobs, with over 650,000 people in the UK having lost their roles during lockdown, mainly in the retail(零售) and service section. However, other sections such as technology were much better as people try to find technical solutions to lockdown, such as video calling. Although it has been a shock, the world has adapted quickly to coronavirus, and many are hoping that these changes are here to stay, highlighting the fact that traditional ways of living and working should remain in the past.
第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节：（共10小题：每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
It was two in the morning. A koala(考拉)was caught in barbed(带刺的)wire on a fence. A phone rang in the home of Megan Aitken in a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. She ran a volunteer organization devoted to rescuing wild koalas. Before she was even told the location, she had thrown her clothes on over her nightdress.
When Aitken arrived on the scene, Jane Davies and Sandra Peachey, two other volunteers were already there. The koala was holding on tightly to a chain-link fence. Its fur was caught in barbed wire Standing in the bright light of car headlights, Aitken put on heavy leather gloves. Despite their cute appearance, koalas can be fierce if they feel threatened. They will fight and bite，and Aitken has the scars to prove it. Next，she placed a cage on the ground near the animal and opened up a thick blanket. Then the three rescuers rapidly got to work. Davies threw the blanket over the animal. Peachey opened the cage, while Aitken firmly grasped the koala through the blanket, freed it from the fence, and dropped it into the cage. “Well done, ladies!” Aitken shouted.
Looking down at the koala they had just rescued, Aitken checked the animal's physical condition. In an event that the koala was sick or injured, it must be taken to an animal hospital nearby. However provided it was healthy, like this one in most cases, it would be released somewhere near the place it was found. This was because koalas lived within such a small area and fed in the same trees over and over. However, this was a highly populated suburb with few areas with trees, so finding a suitable area was not easy. The women studied a map with flashlights.
“This is the whole problem,” Aitken said, “There are so few places left for the koala,” In the
end, they took the animal to a small park nearby. Standing back, they opened the cage, and the koala dashed up a tree. “Good luck, little one,” prayed Aitken.
21. What did the volunteers use the blanket for?
A. To cover the chain-link fence.
B. To avoid the koala's attack.
C. To keep the koala stay warm.
D. To help calm the koala down.
22. Why will koalas be set free near where they are found?
A. The koalas have special living habits.
B. The number of trees is declining rapidly.
C. The government requires rescuers to do so.
D. The volunteers make their decisions randomly.
23. What message is mainly conveyed in the text?
A. Barbed fences do harm to wild koalas.
B. Wild koalas are in danger of extinction.
C. Rescuing trapped wild koalas needs great efforts.
D. The living environment for wild koalas is worsening
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲述了Aitken等几位志愿者解救考拉等野生动物的事迹。

【21题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第二段“They will fight and bite，and Aitken has the scars to prove it. Next，she placed a cage on the ground near the animal and opened up a thick blanket. (它们会反抗，会咬人，艾特肯身上的伤疤就是证明。

接下来，她在靠近动物的地面上放了一个笼子，然后打开了一张厚厚的毯子)”可知，志愿者使用毛毯是为了避免考拉的攻击。

故选B。

【22题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第三段“This was because koalas lived within such a small area and fed in the same trees over and over. (这是因为考拉生活的区域很小，而且经常在同一棵树上觅食。

)”可知，考拉要在被发现的地方被放生是因为考虑考拉有特殊的生活习惯。

故选A。

【23题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第三段“However, this was a highly populated suburb with few areas with
trees, so finding a suitable area was not easy. (这是因为考拉生活的区域很小，而且经常在同一棵树上觅食。

)”和第四段““This is the whole problem,” Aitken said, “There are so few places left for the koala,” In the end, they took the animal to a small park nearby. (“这就是问题所在，”艾特肯说，“留给考拉的地方太少了。

”最后，他们把考拉带到附近的一个小公园。

)”可推断，野生考拉的生活环境正在恶化。

故选D。

B
A road running through Accra, Ghana's capital, looks like any other blacktop（柏油路）. Yet what most drivers don't realize is that it is made from plastics—melted bags, bottles, and snack wraps--that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill.
In a developing nation, “it's difficult to recycle plastic,” noted Heather Troutman, program manager of the Ghana National Plastic Action Partnership. “It's expensive, and much easier just to burn it. But if you could put value on recycled plastic, it won't get buried or burned.”
First appearing two decades ago, plastic roads are being tested and built in more and more countries as the world's plastic pollution problem becomes more serious. India has built over 60,000 miles of these roads. The technology, meanwhile, is gaining ground in Britain, Europe, and Asia. Several countries—South Africa, Vietnam, Mexico, the Philippines, and the United States, among them—have built plastic roads recently. Roads containing waste plastic have the potential to perform as well or better than traditional roads. They can last longer, are stronger and more durable （更耐用的）in respect to loads, car tolerate wide temperature changes, and are more resistant to water damage and cracking.
Troutman views plastic roads as “a promising advance,” especially in a country like Ghana with more road projects in the future. And yet, with the prediction that by 2050 the world will produce over three times as much plastic waste as it ever has, she stresses it is vital to curtail Ghana's all unnecessary use of plastics. “This is the first step,” she noted. “If we keep pumping out more a nd more plastic, we'll never be able to manage it in a sustainable way.”
24. Why it's hard to recycle plastics in Ghana?
A. The plastics are hard to break down.
B. The country lacks related technology.
C. The whole recycling process costs much.
D.The government advocates burning plastics. 25. What can we infer about plastic roads from the third paragraph? A. They are mainly promoted by India. B. They are able to stand extreme weather. C. They are being tested for better functioning. D. They are becoming popular in some countries 26. What does the underlined word “curtail” in the last paragraph mean?A. Reduce. B. Cover. C. Reward. D. Delay. 27. What's Troutman's attitude towards plastic roads? A. Tolerant. B. Flexible. C. Hopeful. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C 【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了加纳首都阿克拉建成的一条塑料公路以及这这种公路的广阔前景。

【24题详解】细节理解题。

根据第二段“It's expensive, and much easier just to burn it.”（回收塑料很昂贵，而且焚烧起来容易得多）可知，在加纳很难回收塑料是因为整个回收过程成本很高，故选C。

【25题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段“The technology, meanwhile, is gaining ground in Britain, Europe, and Asia. Several countries—South Africa, Vietnam, Mexico, the Philippines, and the United States, among them—have built plastic roads recently.”（与此同时，这项技术正在英国、欧洲和亚洲普及。

南非、越南、墨西哥、菲律宾和美国等几个国家最近都修建了塑料公路）可知，塑料公路在一些国家变得流行，故选D。

【26题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据画线词后的“Ghana's all unnecessary use of plastics”（所有不必要的塑料使用）以及“If we keep pumping out more and more plastic, we'll never be able to manage it in a sustainable way.”（如果我们继续生产越来越多的塑料，我们将永远无法以可持续的方式管理它）可知，画线词所在句的意思是：减少加纳所有不必要的塑料使用至关重要，由此可知，
画线词词义为“减少”，故选A。

【27题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段“Troutman views plastic roads as “a promising advance,” especially in a country like Ghana with more road projects in the future.”（特鲁特曼认为塑料公路是“一个有前途的进展”，特别是在加纳这样一个国家，未来有更多公路项目）可知，特鲁特曼认为塑料公路的前景是大有希望的，故选C。

C
Nearly 50 million Americans spend at least 20% of their time working in office settings. Office workers run the risk of work-related illness and stress. Psychological scientist Casey Lindberg and his co-workers were interested in examining how different types of office environments are related to employees' short-term health outcomes and well-being.
Taking advantage of digital tools, Lindberg equipped 231 employees in a US government agency with activity trackers over 3 days and 2 nights. Participants also downloaded a
mood-monitoring app on their smartphones that quizzed them about their moods at different time throughout the day, both at work and at home. The participants come from a variety of positions working in four different office buildings Choosing a wide range of workers and office types was important to the researchers because it meant their findings could widely apply to many types of workers outside of the agency.
The study produced some results that fell in line with previous findings: Those employees who worked mainly on computers moved around during the day less than those who didn't work computer-based jobs. Older workers and those with higher body-mass indices(BMI) were less active than their younger, lower-BMI colleagues.
The researchers also found something they had not expected. People working at long open tables were 20% more active than were cubicle workers, and 32% more active than were people who worked in their own offices. “It is possible that the open nature of a space leads to increased physical activ ity by encouraging communication and movement when employees are available,” Lindberg explained. Besides, cubicle-and office-bound employees had higher level of stress both at work and at home after work, which could be caused by lower activity levels.
Although employees generally like to have their own offices, employers often prefer to consolidate employees to save space and money. So it seems open offices have a long way to go.
28. What were the participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. To change the working positions
B. To test the stress level via phones.
C. To work in different office settings.
D. To record movement track and mood.
29. Which aspect of companies is likely to be influenced by the research result?
A. Office design.
B. Bonus policy.
C. Working hours
D. Location choice.
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Office Workers Suffer Stress and Illness.
B. Open Offices Make Employees More Active.
C. Employers Change Traditional Working Settings.
D. Different Office Buildings Provide Health Benefits.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了一项关于不同类型的办公环境与员工短期健康状况和幸福感之间关系的研究，介绍了研究过程以及研究发现开放性办公室可以使员工更加活跃。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中“Participants also downloaded a mood-monitoring app on their smartphones that quizzed them about their moods at different time throughout the day, both at work and at home.(参与者还在他们的智能手机上下载了一个情绪监测应用程序，该应用程序询问他们在一天中的不同时间的情绪，包括工作和在家)”可知，参与者在实验中被要求记录运动轨迹和情绪。

故选D。

【29题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中“People working at long open tables were 20% more active than wer e cubicle workers, and 32% more active than were people who worked in their own offices. “It is possible that the open nature of a space leads to increased physical activity by encouraging communication and movement when employees are available,” Lindberg explained. Besides, cubicle-and office-bound employees had higher level of stress both at work and at home after work, which could be caused by lower activity levels.(在长开放式办公桌前工作的人比在小隔间工作
的人活跃20%，比在自己办公室工作的人活跃32% 。

Lindberg解释说：“当员工有空的时候，通过鼓励交流和运动，开放的空间可能会增加身体活动。

”此外，在隔间和办公室工作的员工在工作和下班后在家的压力水平更高，这可能是由较低的活动水平引起的)”可推知，公司的办公室设计可能会受到研究结果的影响。

故选A。

【30题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中“Psychological scientist Casey Lindberg and his co-workers were interested in examining how different types of office environments are related to employees' short-term health outcomes and well-being. (心理学家Casey Lindberg和他的同事们对研究不同类型的办公环境与员工短期健康状况和幸福感之间的关系很感兴趣)”以及倒数第二段中“People working at long open tables were 20% more active than were cubicle workers, and 32% more active than were people who worked in their own offices.(在长开放式办公桌前工作的人比在小隔间工作的人活跃20%，比在自己办公室工作的人活跃32%)”结合文章主要介绍了一项关于不同类型的办公环境与员工短期健康状况和幸福感之间关系的研究，介绍了研究过程以及研究发现开放性办公室可以使员工更加活跃。

可知，B选项“开放式办公室使员工更活跃”最符合文章标题。

故选B。

第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every failure helps us learn to do things differently in the future. ____31____ We are often unwilling to admit failure. However, things are slowly changing. For instance, recently some scientific journals have published reports of failed experiments, believing science community can also learn from “negative” results.
____32____ The Netherlands-based ABN AMRP bank started an Institute of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in the bank industry. Similarly, Eli Lilly and Company's research department studies data about drugs that don't xkw work. In fact,one of the business world's most famous failures finally became its biggest success, for the product's makers learned from their mistakes. In the 1990s, Apple Corporation created a device called the Apple Newton. The product, though unique at the time, was expensive and heavy.
____33____ As a result, it became a failure for Apple. However, Steve Jobs believed the product
had the potential and began to explore ways of improving it. In time, this led to the company's most successful product—iPhone.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. We should not only try to learn from it ____34____ Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn't available in 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone.
Finally, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. ____35____
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. One truly cannot exist without the other
C. Accepting failure is not easy for many, though.
D. If we want to succeed, we must also stick it out.
E. We should also try to make fewer and fewer mistakes.
F. Moreover, some of its important features didn't work properly.
G. The business world already understands the value of negative results.
【答案】31. C 32. G 33. F 34. D 35. B
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。

我们大多数人害怕失败，然而，没有失败，进步是不可能的。

每一次失败，即使是最糟糕的失败，都能帮助我们学会在未来以不同的方式做事。

然而，接受失败对许多人来说并不容易。

【31题详解】
根据前句“Every failure helps us learn to do things differently in the future.(每次失败都能帮助我们学会在未来以不同的方式做事。

)”和后句“We are often unwilling to admit failure.(我们常常不愿承认失败。

)”可知，这里为转折关系，失败虽然对我们有好处，但接受它并不容易。

所以选择项C“Accepting failure is not easy for many, though.(然而，接受失败对很多人来说并不容易。

)”符合上下文语境。

故选C。

【32题详解】
根据后句“The Netherlands-based ABN AMRP bank started an Institute of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in the bank industry. (总部位于荷兰的荷兰银行成立了一个“辉煌失败协会”，以更多地了解银行业中哪些做法可行，哪些不可行。

)”可知，
商业界开始研究负面结果了。

所以选择项G“The business world already understands the value of negative results. (商业世界已经理解负面结果的价值。

)”符合上下文语境。

故选G。

【33题详解】
根据前句“The product, though unique at the time, was expensive and heavy. (这种产品虽然在当时很独特，但价格昂贵，重量沉重。

)”可知，后句进一步说明这种产品的缺点。

所以选择项F“Moreover, some of its important features didn't work properly. (此外，它的一些重要功能不能正常工作。

)”符合上下文语境。

故选F。

【34题详解】
根据前文“The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. We should not only try to learn from it. (牛顿的苹果故事可以教给我们另一个关于失败的重要教训。

我们不仅应该努力从中学习。

)”可知，要想成功，必须坚持从失败中学习。

所以选择项D“If we want to succeed, we must also stick it out. (如果我们要成功，我们也必须坚持到底。

)”符合上下文语境。

故选D。

【35题详解】
根据前句“Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. (也许最重要的教训是，失败和成功是同一枚硬币的两面。

)”可知，失败和成功谁也离不开谁。

所以选择项B“One truly cannot exist without the other (一个确实离不开另一个。

)”符合上下文语境。

故选B。
